I saw it in 3D. I don't generally like 3D but it was.... AWESOME here. It's right up with jackass 3d in terms of staying fresh the whole movie.

The music is great but... it's a movie about Vikings but all the music sounds celtic. Maybe it's because nobody knows what Viking music sounds like but it's a little old when movies about Vikings or Gladiators just fall on making this sound like everything is from the UK.

I loved the look of everything. Especially the scene where the main character chances upon another dragon-rider above the clouds. That other character looked fantastic, like something you'd imagine in the corners of Tolkien or even a boss from the Souls series.

So I rented Transformers: Dark of the Moon because it was filmed here and it shows the city getting blowed up good. Holy fuck these movies are so stupid. It seems like the action was better though, than the 1st two movies. When two robots were fighting you could tell it was two robots and not a big ball of gears spinning around

Watched the film pilot to the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series, which I found on par with the other films in the series, then again I don't think any of the Star Wars films are masterpieces, original or prequel trilogy, since I find all the films to be full of plot holes (for instance, in Empire Strikes Back, "We are fleeing into outer space with literally infinite directions to flee, however, we have decided we'll fly directly towards the fleet of Star Destroyers"), and shitty decision-making (like the Empire's refusal to shoot at the supposedly-empty escape pod with Artoo and Threepio in A New Hope, which would have prevented all events in the original trilogy). Lucas has a great imagination but isn't a very good writer, even with the help of people like Lawrence Kasdan.

They wanted those plans so that they knew which hole to patch up, because have you seen the size of that thing? It'd take them countless time and manpower to find the particular photon torpedo access slot that linked directly to the 'detonate in case of emergencies' technobabble thingamajig. Its the same reasoning as to why there are living creatures in the garbage compactors on the detention level, the Empire got cheep and didn't want to hire an exterminator every time something escaped into one of those things.

Anyways, watched Maleficent over the weekend. That sure was a goofy movie. I don't even know where to begin with this. It was like they took the Fox News approach to Sleeping Beauty. Hell, even the guy in my avatar had the decency to turn his original name into a title when he pulled the same stunt as Maleficent. The only bits I liked were the nods to challenges Prince Philip faces in the original movie, King Stefan working the crowd (only because it was ridiculous), Angelina Jolie in a form fitting catsuit, and the almost, sorta, kinda les-yay ending (even if Prince Philip kinda sorta kiboshes it in the only actual thing he does on his own in the movie).
